The statement accused the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers of kicking off the war drills against the north despite the demands of the people at home and abroad for the peace on the Peninsula and reunification.

The statement queried what the Lee Myung Bak "government" sought by kicking off the war exercises against the north, while talking about "dialogue".

The Lee "government" has escalated the tension on the Peninsula to an extreme pitch with war drills against the north, not content with quenching the compatriots' desire for reunification and fraying the north-south relations during its term of office. Its treacherous and anti-reunification actions are bound to meet with the judgment of the nation.

They are sadly mistaken if they calculate they can frighten the north with the war drills. They should clearly understand that they can never quell the nation's desire for reunification.
